Great stuff!! It's nicely solved a daunting rainleak problem for me. Has
anti-gravity capabilities, too!! The other day, when I needed to drive a
phillips screw in a difficult situation, I stuck a tiny piece of the 3M
strip-calk at the tip of the screwdriver and it "grabbed" the screw nicely
to help get it started.

Also, it's easy to share with others since it's packaged in readily
separable layers. I didn't know it would work for semi-permanent exterior
trim such as you described. Probably OK until a souvenir-hunter comes along.
